Nick & Jim is the collaboration between Nicholas Syris (LH Premium) and Pittsburgh retailer "Island Jim" Robinson, rolled at Tabacos de Costa Rica. The partners met in cigar travel circles; Syris blended a house project that Robinson pushed into a branded release. Early naming as Lavida Isla shifted to Nick & Jim (including P.B.E. pre-band editions) after commercial naming hurdles, keeping a multi-origin recipe in a 6x54-class toro story familiar to LH fans.
On the map, Nick & Jim is a distinct collaboration node inside LH's orbit, not a collapse of Robinson's Honduran Island Jim / Leaf by Oscar factory edges into Costa Rica. Factory truth matters: this collab is Costa Rican production; Island Jim core lines remain on the Honduran Oscar Valladares graph.
